What RC knife makes a good "thrower", The Izula?

[PastorMarko]

Was wondering what everyone thought and if anyone has had experience throwing their RC knives.

 

[burddogg]

None of them.
I should rephrase: They aren't designed as throwing knives. They work great in your hand though!

You'd probably be wiser using your face to Baton your Izula thru 6" oak.

 

[PastorMarko]

That is what I was wondering.

There are axe makers and knife makers that say "NOT" to throw them, as they are not made for that. I know certain knives after a while of throwing would lose their scales, they would also lose their scales if battoned as well after a while of extreme use like that.

Funny stuff...

None are meant to be thrown. None would really be "good" for it.

United Cutlery makes some great throwing knives. RAT Cutlery are not throwing knives.

No!!!

While I agree with the "no throwing" thing, I sure a hell wouldn't want to get whopped up side the head by a RC-5 chucked from a few feet away. Blade first or not!

I totally agree

 

[sidecutter]

why hell, if you want to throw something, keep your pockets full of d-cell batteries. a head -hit with one of them will do some serious damage.

Heck he could carry a backpack for of rocks. He could be a walking cannon!

 

[PastorMarko]

LOL

I am happy to see so much GOOD advise.

I am not a knife thrower by any means, that is why I was wondering.

I have heard of indian "throwing sticks" and those looked pretty neat, byrd687 said those should work okay.

I guess if I was a crazed kung fu master I would tie a length of paracord or rope to an Izula and use it as a knife whip

But I AM NOT so you won't see me doing that either

Already had a beer down by the time I got to this. An above post did make me remember a lever type spear thowing device we used to make in scouts. Forget how to spell the name of it. Attle attle or some such. Gonna try carving one tomorrow now I think

I prefer to throw 230 gr. jhp. pieces of lead and keep my knife for future use as a tool.

Tomahawk... HB Forge Shawnee throwing hawk, 40 dollars. Totally worth the money. cheap as an izula and I can split hairs with that thing at 10 yards. Takes a good beating, solid hand forged and comes knife edge sharp.

Haha... Couldn't agree more.
